Migrating from SimpleGeo Storage to CartoDB

SimpleGeo Storage, a geospatial data storage service, has been acquired by Urban Airship and will stop its operations. To help users migrate, SimpleGeo recommends using alternative services such as PostGIS, an open-source solution for storing spatial data. Another option is Google Fusion Tables or Geocommons, although they are not open-source. The migration process involves exporting data from SimpleGeo to CSV format using a Ruby script and then importing it into CartoDB, which offers a user-friendly interface and powerful PostgreSQL and PostGIS capabilities. Users can perform complex queries and filters on their data in CartoDB and visualize it through various mapping techniques. The author hopes that this post will help users transition from SimpleGeo to other services and appreciate the benefits of open-source solutions for managing data.
